The story of a young soldier's capture and struggle for survival in Nazi prison camps in Germany and Poland. The scars left by the physical torture the author endured were nothing compared to the mental torture of being forced to work as a hospital assistant and to witness the gruesome medical experiments carried out on humans by SS "doctors."

From Library Journal :

This chronological memoir by an ex-French soldier of his four-year captivity by the Nazis is truly a "nightmare." Letulle, a postwar U.S. resident, writes in a simple, rough, yet extremely compelling style. His account is accurately described in Amos Perlmutter's foreword as "Kafkaesque in recitation of the horrors visited on the victims of Nazi terror." It is a grim tale of incredible sufferingsuffocatingly crowded boxcars, cruel working conditions, endless despair, brutality, starvation, etc. The ultimate nightmare is mentalas a hospital assistant Letulle witnessed horrifying human experiments. If further evidence of wartime bestiality is needed, it will be found to a shocking extent in Letulle's recollections of his many places of confinement. Clifton E. Wilson, Univ. of Arizona, Tuscon
